    Y’all know me. Know how I earn a livin’. I’ll catch this bird for you, but it ain’t gonna be easy. Lil shakin’, little tenderizin’, an’ down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that’ll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin’ basis. But it’s not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, chief. I’ll find him for three, but I’ll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you’ve gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don’t want no volunteers, I don’t want no mates, there’s just too many captains on this island. $10,000 for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.

    I knew Michael Phelps was up to something with those suction cups. Is there anything he can't do?

    Still working for me. He's still moving up but very slow. Cops are thinking about smashing a window above him to try and stop him. Using a window cleaner crane too to try and stop him.

    Upright at present but getting tired. Could be vertical soon.

    Police have removed a pane of glass above him from the inside.

    Then now is the time to come at him.

    From an open window a well aimed punch to the gut should see him crashing back down to earth fairly fast.

    Ten of thousands of people do, judging by the reaction on FB.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,987 ✭✭✭mikeym


    Lookup Shepard Smith on Facebook.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,283 ✭✭✭...And Justice


    Boring as fúck


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,247 ✭✭✭✭Guy:Incognito


    Did no one think to tell him the building has a lift?

    They don't give a fcuk - they just like watching Spiderman climb because they've fcuk all else to be at.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30,472 ✭✭✭✭Ghost Train


    Looks like he's cornered

    Watching it on periscope

    Seems like a reasonable chap.

    I'm sure Trump will hook with him to bounce a few ideas around.


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 12,325 Mod ✭✭✭✭Kingp35


    He's not giving up anyway!

    He wants people to vote FOR Trump? That was unexpected.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,046 ✭✭✭Berserker


    Motive is self promotion. He has a bunch of leaflets.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,423 ✭✭✭✭Outlaw Pete


    Worst Spiderman costume ever!

    And that's the end of that unless the cops get sick of listening to him and throw him back out the window.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,201 ✭✭✭✭Basq


    Still more entertaining than Suicide Squad..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,800 ✭✭✭Senna


    FFS the just cut to a Facebook video right as the cops pulled him in.
